Wii U: Downfall of a Downfall (Part II) - Scott The Woz

I guess is a good time to beat the dead horse again.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is one of the greatest 2D platformers ever created and I'll go as far to say my favourite platforming game of all time. By far Retro Studios best works.

It wasn't just another 2D platformer nobody wanted!

Took me 8 days to finish this vid!😭 Scott the GOAT!

I always see scott as a late 2000s comedy musician.

Sooo... Scott just went "Empire Strikes Back" on our asses huh?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is my favorite game of all time and hearing Scott rave about the game for 5 minutes just brings me joy

Man, I mentally blocked out so much of how bad the Wii U was. This video was like reliving it all over again.

i couldve sworn this video was named the death of a death

1606 1485

So late 2014 into 2015 and 2016 will be the next video. And I’d say late 2014 into 2015 is probably the coup de grace for the Wii U. The point where the Wii U’s fate was sealed for good.

I hope scot keeps doing podcasts

Pro tip for anybody currently in a coma: Use Mario Party 10 to get out of it. After today, I've seen it happen

"heat's content" not "heart's extent"

GAME & WARIO ISLANDS MENTIONED

This video has a strong case of Scott's "of all time" isms.
Scott please. Not everything you like is the greatest of all time

and the award to most abrupt ending to a Scott the Woz video goes to

Hey, MH3U looks great. Of course newer games look better but I still like how it looks.

This in depth look into the Wii U's history has been so interesting. I never owned a Wii U, but I remember hearing about how poorly it was doing. I didn't really understand why, but I can see why through your videos. It sounds like the combination of weak titles at launch, poor marketing and better options with the 3DS were the main issues with the system. I was one of the fans who preferred to stick with the slightly cheaper 3DS system and games instead of spending more for another system like the Wii U. Why get the console version when I can get it on the 3DS? I can see how Nintendo learned from the Wii U when they were marketing the Switch. A hybrid console was also their best bet since they could combine their libraries into one system instead of having people pick and choose which system to go for, especially when their handheld systems were so successful.

I literally cried at one point.

nintendo hardware sucks.

Truly a tragedy in 3 acts

I liked the wii u ghosts version bc my brother and I could play together with no split screen

I regrettably bought me3 for wiiu

I have to say, i appreciate the thumbsticks on the top of the wii u pro controller, its great for fps games, but it only works on the wii u, which is the wrong console for that.

:D

all this trilogy is doing is making me wanna buy a second hand wii u

I watched this video through 5 days worth of commuting. Made it much nicer, thanks

Bro might be the greatest wii u scholar in history.

You can acctully see the progression Nintendo is making trough the years in this video. Not saving the WiiU but more so learning and movin the company into new grounds

I can't believe Scott Woz was in a commercial for the Wii U. I'm talking about that kid on the couch that says nonsense

I remember when my brother agreed to pay for half of the Wii U for my birthday. We went to bestbuy and I grabbed one and he went “When did Nintendo release a new console?” And that sentence pretty much sums up the Wii U’s lifetime on the market lol.

I love my Wii U, but it was rough as a Nintendo fan back then.

I forgot how awful this period was to live through

dude the wii u was dead in 2014 why are you still talking about it. Talk about nintendo all you want but can we just forget about this console. At least the gamecube which wasn't a great seller had some decent games.

So where do we the “players” come from if all ancient civilizations are dead?

you know this explains the asynchronous Nintendo console release strategy they do now.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 3 will be out before the next video

I love how the Wii U library is so pitifully small that you have to keep shuffling in games you just talked about to fill up more space when talking about multiple games
